Tentatively thinking 5k time trial tomorrow on the track by me. Low fence, also, not closed. Don’t think they are even bothering to try.
Going for sub 16:30. My current PR is 16:49. Go for broke baby.
Wednesday workout was 3xmile (1609m) tan then in 522, 516, 507. 3:00 rest on those (jogged a 400 and then easy around the line to 3:00).
Predictions? Weather looks nice, low-mid 50s. Will be lacing up my next% for the first time.
For the record, RunnerSam, I’d do a mile time trial on July 4th, but that is far away. I’d be open to sometime in early May.

I’m thinking 16:15-16:20. Good luck Lanc!

re: The Stone Cutter

Did I hear The Michigan!?

I think I’ll give it a shot next Tuesday.

Going to do it the OG way, with ~1.5 mi tempos between each of the reps on the track. Probably going to hit those at MP or so.

I just fully dominated a 4 mile tempo run and am on my way to 65 mile week with 2 strong workouts. Watch-out Moke/Thoughtsleader... I am coming for you!

I am not liking my chances, that is a beastly tempo. All I have going for me is old man savvy in the mile. It’s had me run 10 seconds faster than I thought my fitness was in the past, though...

16:21 for Lanc

re: THOUGHTSLEADER

My PT session yesterday went well and was VERY informative...in a good news/bad news manner. With the second leg (right) now having issues, my PT has a clearer understanding of the underlying issue. In a nutshell, it is not the hamstring, but my lower spine...

Good news first...we caught this very early and she thinks the dry needling and other PT stuff will work well, and I agree with her. Got needled yesterday, in both my hammy and in my lower spine. It hurt, and I am sore, but it definitely helped. My hips are strong and in good alignment, and my legs are strong. She tested me thoroughly. Anyway, I am set up for four weeks of PT.

Bad news...well, anytime I hear "spine" I get the shivers. I likely have a compressed disc in my lower spine, which causes a nerve to then freak out, and that in turn causes my hammy to lock up. A chain reaction.

So, that is where I am.

All the best to everyone and a Happy Easter. I am a bit down, but at least I am okay otherwise and I know I have all of you rooting for me.

re: outsiderunner

Sorry to hear that OR.

FWIW, I have a good friend who had a lot of issues in that same general area of the body (it was in his hips but causing pain elsewhere). He tried everything from orthos to PTs and nobody could figure out, let alone solve, the problem. As a last resort he went to a sports chiropractor. My friend was pretty skeptical but he was desperate. Lo and behold the dang chiropractor immediately diagnosed the problem and fixed him up like magic. Just something you might consider if PT doesn’t work out.

Happy Easter my friend.
